Hello, my name is Michelle Cortes.

Hi, I’m Michelle Cortes, and I a based in San Francisco, California —a designer, entrepreneur, and passionate travel & lifestyle storyteller. My background in design and the restaurant industry has shaped my love for exploring unique destinations, curating travel guides, and sharing immersive experiences through digital storytelling.

Whether I’m working behind my computer bringing ideas to life or traveling to discover hidden gems, boutique stays, and must-visit restaurants, I’m always seeking inspiration in the world around me.

I’ve spent my life between big cities and the countryside, blending the energy of places like Chicago and San Francisco with the quiet beauty of my hometown near Mexico City, Coatlán del Río. This duality fuels my creativity—I thrive on city life during the week but crave nature and slower moments on the weekends.

This blog is where I share my passion for travel, food, and culture. From curated city guides to unique culinary experiences, I hope to inspire you to explore, immerse yourself in new cultures, and discover the beauty of every place you visit. Let’s connect and make every journey unforgettable!
